Seeing the boy's urine and feces flowing simultaneously, Xiao Changxin's happy expression paused, and he frowned and muttered to himself: "You are not sensible at all. You are so old, but you still pee and poop casually. As the principal, I have a long way to go in educating bad kids like you. Otherwise, you will disappoint your parents' expectations. How sad they will be? The punishment will be extended..."
With a breath of alcohol, he staggered towards the button of the "electric therapy device". He glanced at the two girls who were crying in fear and chuckled, "Wait, after we punish him, the principal will give you a thorough check-up. Don't worry, don't worry."
Hearing his words, the two girls with messy hair turned even paler, one's teeth chattered, the other's eyes were filled with tears, but neither of them dared to cry out loud, like lambs to be slaughtered.
Xiao Changxin hates seeing women crying the most. If they cry, the abuse they receive will be even more painful.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Changxin showed his old yellow teeth stained by excessive smoking, and a comfortable and relaxed smile appeared on his face again. He liked the way these boys and girls were afraid of him, it was so charming.
Xiao Changxin was immersed in his own world. He felt like he was a king, holding the power of life and death over the students in this school.
This feeling of controlling the fate of others was so wonderful that it fascinated him more than sleeping with the most beautiful woman. After all, he had to pay money to sleep with women, but to torture these students was not only free, but there were also people who paid him to torture them.
Whenever he feels upset, he comes to the electrotherapy room and all his distress disappears. Xiao Changxin is so happy!
Lin Shuyue felt like vomiting when she saw his lustful expression. She took off her shoes as she walked inside, her brows furrowed with cold anger.
"Who are you?" Xiao Changxin heard the noise, turned around and asked with a thick tongue.
The first thing Lin Shuyue did when she entered the room was to throw the clothes at the end of the bed onto the girls, covering their entire bodies.
Then, she weighed the shoes in her hand and smiled: "Don't you recognize your ancestors? Little bastard, I am very disappointed in you. Do you think people like you who don't even recognize their ancestors should also be educated?"
"You, what did you say? Who do you say is a bastard?! Whose ancestor do you say you are?" Xiao Changxin couldn't believe it, thinking that he had heard it wrong. His eyes were as big as copper bells and bulged outwards, which was very scary.
"I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Why are you glaring at me? If you keep glaring at me, I'll dig your eyeballs out!" Lin Shuyue said as she raised her shoe, and the sole of her shoe accurately hit the pig's face, giving it a solid smack on the spot.
"You're unfilial and disobedient, and you couldn't even remember who your ancestors are."
Xiao Changxin subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect his face, but Lin Shuyue hit him with another shoe.
The two girls on the operating table were also stunned. The other boy heard the loud noise, struggled to open his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise.
It was extremely quiet in the infirmary.
In addition to the creaking sound of the wind blowing the window, there was another voice, an especially abrupt voice: "This, this auntie is so strong, that pig-headed face is swollen..."
After hearing this, Xiao Changxin finally came to his senses. The burning pain on his face was not as great as the tsunami of anger in his heart. He looked at Lin Shuyue and said, "You stinking bitch, old woman, you are crazy. I'm going to fire you! If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who is the boss of this school!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist and swung it at the "old woman" who seemed so weak in his eyes. He even imagined in his mind that this old woman would be knocked to the ground by him and roll on the ground in pain, just like the old woman in his family.
She looked fat and strong, but she was vulnerable to his attack. This woman was so thin, and he couldn't handle her?
Lin Shuyue dodged the punch with a light movement. Seeing Xiao Changxin almost falling to the ground, she raised a finger and shook it, curling her lips in disdain and disappointment: "A weakling? Or did you not take Viagra today? Is that all your strength? Can you kill an ant? Are you here to make fun of me ?"
Several young men and women in the infirmary held their breath, watching the situation develop nervously without blinking. Seeing Xiao Changxin being beaten, they were very happy, but they were also very worried about Lin Shuyue. No one knew Xiao Changxin's cruelty better than them.
Lin Shuyue's words were not only very hurtful to Xiao Changxin, but also extremely insulting. Especially the part about not taking Viagra, which really hit the sore spot that he should be most proud of as a man!
Xiao Changxin couldn't stand this insult. He was furious and cursed. He turned around and punched with all his strength: "You stinky bitch, I'll beat you to death!"
This time, Lin Shuyue did not dodge. She reacted very quickly, raised her leg, and kicked Xiao Changxin, the scum, away.
It was true. After taking the strengthening pills rewarded by the system, Lin Shuyue was full of strength. She felt that now she could even go to the mountains to fight a tiger without any problem.
It was easy to kick Xiao Changxin, the fat pig. Before Xiao Changxin could react, he quickly retreated, knocking over several electrotherapy devices and smashing them onto the edge of the iron bed.
"Boom!"
"Bang!!"
"Ouch!!!"
A series of noises rang out, and Xiao Changxin howled in pain. He curled up on the ground, and for a moment he was in so much pain that he couldn't even utter a curse word.
Zhou Bingrong sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at Xiao Changxin who fell to the ground with a groan in shock, muttering, "He fell so hard, I feel like I'm seeing the real-life version of the Sweeping Monk and the Master. What is this? Internal Kung Fu? Yi Jin Jing? Foshan Shadowless Kick? I wonder if that fat guy has any internal injuries?"
Ah Hao's heart was pounding, and a surge of blood rushed to his head. He looked at Lin Shuyue with sparkling eyes: "Isn't this what we call chivalry? With martial arts skills, you can put an end to all injustices in the world and defeat all the people who can be defeated!"
When Lin Shuyue heard the conversation between the two teenagers, the corners of her mouth twitched. They were indeed at the age of middle school students.
However, seeing that they were still in the mood to joke, she felt relieved even though it was a bit inappropriate to say this here.
Xiao Changxin was still wailing. In that kick just now, Lin Shuyue only used one-third of her strength. If she had used 100 percent, Xiao Changxin would probably be reporting to hell right now.
In a society ruled by law, scumbags should be handed over to the police and tried by the court.
Fighting violence with violence is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.
"Fuck you, you hit me? You stinky bitch! Just wait, if I hadn't been drunk and had no strength left, I would have beaten you to death!"
Xiao Changxin was fat and strong, and Lin Shuyue was holding back on her strength, so apart from causing him some pain, he wasn't really hurt. After all, hurting someone was against the law, and Lin Shuyue always thought of herself as a good citizen who abided by the law.
So now Xiao Changxin calmed down, reached his hand into his trouser pocket with a trembling hand, took out the new Motorola that he had specially bought in Gangcheng, and pressed the buttons on the phone.
"Hey, you coward. You can't beat a woman so you're going to ask for help?" Lin Shuyue walked over leisurely, kicked his phone away easily, pressed his pig face, and spanked him ten times.
As she was hitting, she asked him, "Does it feel good? Does it feel good? Do you like it?"
"I will also educate you on behalf of your parents, and teach you, a bastard, what it means to respect the elderly and love the young, what it means to respect women, what it means to respect the elderly and love the young, what it means to abide by the law, and what it means to be polite, righteous, and have a sense of shame!"
Lin Shuyue would slap him every time she spoke.
Xiao Changxin cried out, tears and snot streaming down his face. His face was swollen and purple from being beaten. He couldn't even curse or beg for mercy. He wanted to resist, right? The hand holding him down was so thin, but he was like an eel nailed to the chopping board, letting Lin Shuyue slaughter him, helpless...
No one dared to make a sound, and screams echoed in the infirmary.
At this moment, a group of messy footsteps approached. Lin Shuyue stopped what she was doing and looked back.
The group of three girls and one boy who she had placed in the classroom downstairs stood at the door in amazement. When they heard the screams, they mustered up their courage and hurried over.
They ran while preparing themselves mentally and entered a place they had never dared to approach, but they did not expect to see such a scene. They were all stunned.
"Ah, Auntie, after you finish beating him, can we tie him up?" Zhou Bingrong looked at Lin Shuyue with admiration and asked tentatively.
Xiao Changxin looked at Lin Shuyue with fear, his eyes revealing a pleading look for mercy. He would rather be tied up by a group of traitors than be beaten by the female devil in front of him. It was too scary, oooh!
He had never known how painful and uncomfortable it was to be beaten until this moment.
"Okay." Lin Shuyue agreed very kindly, stepped aside and watched them, ready to escort them at any time. As long as Xiao Changxin dared to resist, what would greet him would definitely not be as simple as a beating.
"Don't just stand there, go and untie them." Zhou Bingrong pointed at the three girls and said, then looked at Ah Hao and another boy, and looked at Xiao Changxin who was beaten into Zhu Bajie eagerly: "Guys, tie up this pig demon quickly, we can have some food with our wine!"
The three girls hurriedly went to button up and untie the girl who was tied to the operating table, while Ah Hao and the other two boys surrounded Xiao Changxin, pressed him onto the empty operating table, and hurriedly tied him up with belt buckles.
After tying up Xiao Changxin, the students fell silent again. What should they do now?
After they tied him up, Ah Hao looked at him, just like he was looking at himself when he was tied to the bed, and said fiercely: "He gave us electric shocks, so we will give him electric shocks too!"
After saying this, she subconsciously looked at Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue did not stop her and smiled when she saw him looking over.
Ah Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he made the suggestion, the eyes of several young men and women lit up.
Xiao Changxin was really scared now. He had never had electrotherapy before, but he had done it for others. How could he not know what it was like for others?
Xiao Changxin never wants to experience this thing in his life! You know, when he first started this school, he couldn't control the strength well and electrocuted someone to death!
He struggled harder, and threatened the kids fiercely: "How dare you!!"
"See if we dare or not! Why don't we dare?!" Ah Hao gritted his teeth. He looked at the others and said coldly, "Whoever doesn't want to participate, get out."
No one spoke, and no one went out. One of the girls who had just been rescued raised her hand tremblingly: "I'll be the first one to come. I know how to operate that."
"Count me in."
"Count me in, too."
"And me."
"Me too."
The girl's words were supported by everyone.
Xiao Changxin's face turned pale: "If you let me go, I'll give you money, and I'll tell your parents that you've been reformed, and let them take you away, how about that?"
Seeing that threats didn't work, Xiao Changxin began to bribe people.
Zhou Bingrong looked at him with disgust, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and shouted, "Whose socks are smelly?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of question was this? It was totally irrelevant. However, the boy who was electrocuted and foamed at the mouth still pointed at Xiao Changxin weakly and said, "Of course it's his. He's like a salted fish that has been covered for four or five years. Every time I come to the infirmary, I almost vomit because of the smell."
Zhou Bingrong looked at Xiao Changxin with disdain and said to the weak boy, "The opportunity for revenge has come!"
"How, how do you say it?" the boy asked stutteringly.
"Take off his socks and stuff them in his mouth." Zhou Bingrong grinned and came up with a mean idea.
This bad idea was unanimously agreed by everyone. The boy made a bitter face and looked determined to do it. He quickly took off Xiao Changxin's socks and stuffed them into Xiao Changxin's mouth under the disgusting gazes of everyone.
Then he turned around and started to dry heave while holding onto the wall. He felt that he was now covered in that smell and he was no longer clean!
The pair of sour and smelly socks finally entered Xiao Changxin's mouth. He couldn't accept the taste and kept dry heaving. His eyes were wide open and he was completely sober.
"Don't you know how to operate the iron? Come on." Ah Hao pointed at the girl who said she could operate the iron.
The girl took a deep breath, picked up the fallen electrotherapy device, recalled Xiao Changxin's operation, and turned on the electrotherapy device. With tears in her eyes, she held the iron-like tool in both hands and raised it in front of Xiao Changxin.
Xiao Changxin was so scared that he kicked his legs and cried non-stop. He was scared, he was so scared! But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away from the iron bed he designed himself.
The girl slowly lowered the iron, and when it was about to touch Xiao Changxin's skin, she became scared again and raised the iron. Xiao Changxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl subconsciously looked at others, then bit her lip and put the iron down again. This time, her hands were shaking badly, and she still couldn't do it: "I'm scared."
This happened two or three times, and Xiao Changxin's emotions changed from nervousness to fear to relief.
No one condemned her. Who would be as beastly as Xiao Changxin and those instructors?
As the initiator, Ah Hao said, "It's OK, just give it to me and I'll do it."
The girl looked at Ah Hao, then at Xiao Changxin. Finally, the girl mustered up the courage and said, "I'll try again."
This time, she closed her eyes and pressed the iron hard: "Zizi!!! Zizizi!!!"
The wind outside picked up, rustling the leaves.
Lin Shuyue looked at the sky, the ground, and then looked out the window.
The wind was so strong that she heard nothing, saw nothing, and knew nothing.
These students are still children, so what if they act a little too aggressively? Xiao Changxin is an adult, so how can he still argue with them?
The counterattack in the electrotherapy room was in full swing. Outside, the wind stopped at some point and it began to rain, dripping on the trees and the ground.
The sound of sirens reached her ears, and more than ten minutes later, Lin Shuyue heard many footsteps coming up the stairs.
Lin Shuyue walked into the inner room, unplugged the power, and whispered to the teenagers in the room, "The police are here."
Upon hearing this, the young men turned around and looked at Lin Shuyue in disbelief.
Since they entered this school, they have been expecting the police to come and rescue them every day. But they have been looking forward to it day and night, but the police have never come. They have long given up this extravagant hope, and now when they suddenly heard that the police had come, their only reaction was to not believe it.
But as Lin Shuyue finished speaking, a group of people in police uniforms entered the infirmary. They subconsciously gathered together, their eyes full of vigilance.
Especially Zhou Bingrong! When his father told him about this school, he said it was a military-style school with retired military instructors. It was because of his admiration for military personnel that Zhou Bingrong agreed to come here to study.
Because he saw that these people did not have any military qualities when they came to pick him up in the car, he questioned them once and talked back to them twice, so he was severely beaten.
He now subconsciously doesn't trust these soldiers and police!
The police were led by Hang Jiabai. Looking at the room full of injured teenagers, he felt like a huge stone was weighing on his heart.
As for Xiao Changxin, who was lying on the bed whimpering, a policeman went forward to check on him as usual and found that although he looked miserable, his life was actually not in danger. This guy sucked the blood of these children and made himself fat and strong, commonly known as: Naizao.
Put the person in handcuffs and send him to the hospital for further examination. If there is no problem, interrogate him directly.
Hang Jiabai saw the boys' defensiveness, took out his ID, and passed it to them through Lin Shuyue, whom the teenagers trusted. He said to them, "I am Hang Jiabai from the Criminal Investigation Team of Pengcheng Public Security Bureau. This is my ID."
Lin Shuyue handed the ID to Ah Hao. But Ah Hao had never seen a police ID before, and he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, so he gave it to the classmates next to him, who also haven't seen one. In the end, the police ID was handed to Zhou Bingrong.
Zhou Bingrong had a relative who worked in the public security system. He was curious and had taken his police ID to look at it. He also carefully asked the relative how to distinguish the real ones.
Zhou Bingrong didn't expect that the knowledge he had learned could come in handy here. After looking at it, he nodded to Ah Hao and others: "It's true."
Because they belonged to the same camp and because they had just fought back against Xiao Changxin together, these students trusted Zhou Bingrong very much.
The girls covered their mouths and tears fell one by one.
Hang Jiabai moved aside and several female police officers came in. They approached a few girls cautiously and their eyes turned red when they saw the scars on their bodies.
Under their gentle comfort, the girls looked at the police badges on their hats and finally burst into tears.
The policewomen followed the girls and took them to the ambulance on standby downstairs of the teaching building.
Seeing the boys and girls being afraid and shaking because of people wearing white coats, the police immediately tried to comfort them. The doctors who saw their miserable condition immediately took off their white coats.
Without the white coats, the students were not so scared anymore, and they got on the bus accompanied by the police. With the police around, the students felt safe.
The rain was getting heavier. Lin Shuyue watched the cars and ambulances taking the students away one by one. Before being taken away, Ah Hao rushed through the crowd and ran to Lin Shuyue.
"May I know your name?" The rain wet Ah Hao's hair. The super long bangs that she first saw on him had been forcibly cut off on the first day of school. There were still unhealed wounds on his face, which were more obvious after being washed by the rain. He blinked to get rid of the raindrops that fell into his eyes.
The boy with non-mainstream hair and defiant eyes seemed like a dream and only appeared for a moment in Lin Shuyue's memory.
Lin Shuyue stared at him for a while, trying hard to hold back the sob in her throat, and said, "Hello, Xu Shuhao, I'm Lin Shuyue."
Ah Hao's eyes widened instantly. He had heard of the name Lin Shuyue. She was the girl he had agreed to play a game with at noon.
No wonder she looked so familiar to him, it turned out to be her! She was a reporter!
Ah Hao showed his first sincere smile since coming to this school. He felt that Lin Shuyue must be a fairy sent by God to save him.
Zhou Bingrong called him from the side of the police car. He turned his head and waved to Lin Shuyue: "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Lin Shuyue said goodbye to him.
Ah Hao turned and stepped into the rain. As he ran, he stopped, turned around, stood in the rain, and bowed deeply to Lin Shuyue.
'Thank you for taking the bet with me so seriously. Thank you for saving me, thank you for saving us.'
The tears that Lin Shuyue had been holding back burst out.
Ah Hao got into the police car, and the police car rushed out through the rain, carrying them away.
Lin Shuyue covered her eyes, squatted down, and cried silently.
An umbrella was held over her head at some point. She covered her face and took deep breaths for a long time before she looked up at the person holding the umbrella for her.
Hang Jiabai was like a green pine tree, standing upright one step away from her, one of his shoulders wet by the rain, and the raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound.
Under the rain, mixed with the lights not far away, Hang Jiabai, who was standing against the light, also became a little gentler.
Lin Shuyue stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and said with a heavy nasal voice: "Thank you."
Hang Jiabai shook his head. His voice was as clear as ever, the most alluring voice of a young man: "You're welcome. Reporter Lin, I'll arrange for someone to take you back."
Lin Shuyue did not refuse. This place was remote and far away. Normally, if she wanted to go out, she would have to walk for half an hour to catch a bus. It was already this late and it was raining so heavily. Lin Shuyue did not want to bother: "Thank you."
Hang Jiabai waved towards the playground, and a police car drove in front of Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue stood under the umbrella held by Hang Jiabai and looked around this purgatory-like school.
The school, which used to be plunged into darkness at dusk, was now brightly lit, with policemen shuttling around in every corner of the school.
Faculty and staff including Tian Li had been taken under control and were squatting in a row in an office on the first floor.
All the students have been taken away.
Lin Shuyue got into the police car.
The car started slowly, and she ended the first undercover investigation in her career.
The police car stopped in the city. Lin Shuyue stood there and watched it go away. She did not choose to go back. It was already past ten o'clock, and Lin Shuxing must have been asleep. If she went back so late, with red eyes, which showed that she had been crying, it will only made her worry for no reason.
Lin Shuyue found the nearest hotel, checked in, took a shower, changed into the pajamas that was stored in system backpack, lay down on the soft bed, and fell asleep in a second.
This was the first good sleep she had since entering the Internet addiction school.
The next day she woke up at six o'clock and felt refreshed.
Lin Shuyue changed into the clothes she had taken off yesterday, washed and dried, and opened the hotel curtains.
It rained so heavily last night, but the sky cleared up this morning. The sun was about to rise in the east, dyeing the morning glow red. The road surface downstairs that had been washed by the rain was still a little damp, so even the air was a little moist. The trees planted on the roadside were greener, only the flowers in the flower beds had their petals knocked off and fell into the flower beds.
Lin Shuyue went downstairs to check out, and ordered a bowl of steamed rice noodles with meat and egg at the breakfast shop next to the hotel. She poured herself a cup of tea, and the aroma that filled the room made her saliva water.
The food cooked by Mei Daliang tasted really bad. Lin Shuyue had been eating it for more than a week and couldn't stand it anymore. She finally managed to go out yesterday, but she was worried about the students at school and had no appetite.
The steamed rice noodles came up very quickly. Lin Shuyue scooped a spoonful of chopped pepper from the table, mixed it, and immediately stuffed it into her mouth. As soon as the steamed rice noodles entered her mouth, she was so happy that she was bubbling!
This is what people eat! Calling the food made by Mei Daliang a pig food is an insult to pig food!!!
Lin Shuyue ate a bowl of fried rice noodles with a pious heart, drank two cups of tea with little tea flavor, paid the bill and walked towards the Public Security Bureau.
After having a full meal and solving the problem of the internet addiction school, Lin Shuyue thought of the children she had rescued. Even the dirty stray dogs on the side of the road seemed particularly handsome.
In a good mood, she bought a few sausages from a roadside store, peeled them and laid them on the clean ground. The stray dogs had been watching her warily from a distance. As soon as she walked away, the stray dogs could not wait to rush towards the sausages.
When she entered the reception hall, there were many students sitting on the chairs. They had changed their clothes and were lying on their backs or sitting down. Some were simply curled up on the ground, sleeping soundly.
The air conditioner in the reception room was set to 26 degrees, allowing students to sleep more comfortably.
He Yuling was working in front of the computer. When she saw her coming, she immediately waved at her, and Lin Shuyue walked over.
He Yuling stood up and poured her a glass of water, then asked softly, "Reporter Xiaolin, have you eaten?"
"I had some fried rice noodles. How about you?"
He Yuling shook her head: "No, I've been working overtime since yesterday and haven't closed my eyes yet."
Lin Shuyue thanked them for their hard work, and then asked, "Have the parents of these students arrived?"
He Yuling covered her mouth with her hand and yawned: "We have already notified everyone one by one. Those who live nearby have been taken away by their parents overnight. Those who live far away will probably be here soon. There is still a tough battle to fight."
The advertisements of Superior Internet Addiction Treatment School were all over the province. There were many local students, but also many students from other cities. It rained heavily last night, and not every family had a private car at this time, so many parents of students had not arrived yet.
She sat next to He Yuling and chatted with her in a controlled voice. At this time, Hang Jiabai came down from upstairs, saw Lin Shuyue, and called her. Lin Shuyue said something to He Yuling and walked towards him. Hang Jiabai led her upstairs.
Hang Jiabai spoke only after they turned the corner of the stairs: "After you captured Duan Taoyong last time, the bureau applied for the title of bravery for you, and the bonus and commendation have been issued. It's just that we contacted your newspaper before, and your newspaper said you were on a mission, so we haven't given it to you yet."
"When you came here yesterday, I forgot to tell you about this matter. It just so happens that you came here today. The bureau said they would hold a commendation meeting for you..."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyue interrupted and said, "Captain Hang, I won't attend the commendation meeting. My profession is quite special, and at this stage, I don't really want to show my face."
Lin Shuyue has a system for distinguishing good from evil, so she will have to expose criminals in the future, and there will be no shortage of undercover missions like this. This kind of commendation meeting must be attended by reporters. For her safety and the safety of her family, the less she shows up, the better.
Hang Jiabai glanced at Lin Shuyue and said, "Okay, then I'll tell the leader that we will fully comply with your wishes!"
Lin Shuyue smiled at Hang Jiabai, and the two of them went up to the second floor and arrived at the familiar reception room.
Hang Jiabai left Lin Shuyue in the reception room and went out. After a while, he brought back the bag and personal belongings that she had left at the Internet Addiction School. Lin Shuyue thanked him, and Hang Jiabai gave her a pen and a notebook: "I think you will need it."
The two sat down like they did the first time Lin Shuyue interviewed Hang Jiabai. Without waiting for Lin Shuyue to speak, Hang Jiabai said, "We asked someone to test the pills you gave us yesterday, and the results came out this afternoon. It's a psychotropic antidepressant, and long-term use has obvious side effects."
"For example, gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, anorexia, diarrhea, etc. Headache, restlessness, weakness, drowsiness, insomnia, dizziness, etc. may also occur. Rare adverse reactions include allergic rash and sexual dysfunction. However, withdrawal syndrome may occur after stopping the drug, such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, sweating, dizziness or abnormal sensations."①
The prescription for this drug is to take one tablet at a time, but the dosage given by the Internet Addiction School is that no matter whether the student is sick or not, or what the disease is, they must take two tablets! Once taken, they must take it for three months!
After these three months, there will be some damage to the body! The person who tested this drug cursed on the spot when he found out that it was for minors!
"After we received your report, we began to plan the arrest. The Municipal Bureau was afraid that the Internet addiction school had a 'protective umbrella' so they did not intervene and asked the nearest police station to send police, so we arrived a little late." Hang Jiabai explained to Lin Shuyue why they arrived so late.
As a police reserve in her previous life, Lin Shuyue fully understood this.
"We conducted an overnight investigation of the instructors and school staff involved last night, and they confessed to the allegations of abusing the children. We also investigated Xiao Changxin, who insisted that his school was a regular one and that his treatment of the students was legal and compliant."
"We will review this further."
Hang Jiabai thought for a moment and then gave Lin Shuyue some details: "When we were investigating the accountant named Tian Li, she said that the school had electrocuted a student to death and the instructor had crippled two students, and that they had to spend money to settle both cases."
"In the early morning, our colleagues have already gone to their place. I believe that news will be reported back soon." When Hang Jiabai talked about the student who was electrocuted to death and the two students who were crippled, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
If the cases reported by Lin Shuyue before could only result in the main culprit Xiao Changxin being sentenced to two to three years in prison, then after someone was killed, Xiao Changxin's charges would not be so simple.
Lin Shuyue was not surprised after hearing this. It was very normal for someone to die in an education method like that of an internet addiction treatment school.
Lin Shuyue just felt sorry for the loss of that young life and the two children who could have grown up healthily but were beaten to disability.
Hang Jiabai didn't say anything more, and Lin Shuyue didn't ask either. This piece of news was enough for her to write a report.
Lin Shuyue asked a few questions and then ended the interview.
Lin Shuyue received a copy of the evidence she submitted from Hang Jiabai. Hang Jiabai had marked the parts that were not suitable for broadcast.
Lin Shuyue took a look and found that they were all about the girls' private parts.
Lin Shuyue had never intended to broadcast this part. This world is so harsh on girls. Whenever something has to do with sex, people will never condemn the man who hurt women, but will only focus on the injured girl.
When encountering such things, there will always be people who say: Why don't others hurt others but only hurt you?
Why don't you wear more clothes? Don't blame others for assaulting you if you're dressed like this!
Why don't you behave yourself? This kind of thing happened because you are too frivolous. If you were more dignified, this kind of thing would definitely not happen!!
Even in many sexual assault cases, the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the victims often comes from the people closest to them!
Lin Shuyue chose not to report them for this reason. She was afraid that after the report came out, the girls in the Internet addiction school would not only be criticized by the outside world, but also be insulted and scolded by their relatives.
Lin Shuyue said to Hang Jiabai: "Captain Hang, rest assured, I won't report these things." After a pause, Lin Shuyue looked into Hang Jiabai's narrow and deep eyes and said: "I thank you on their behalf."
Hang Jiabai looked at the girl in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
Hang Jiabai was only 20 years old when he graduated from the Public Security School. After graduation, he worked as a criminal policeman and gradually rose to the position of team leader. During these years of work, he has met many reporters.
Some journalists are very good. They have bottom lines and conscience and know what to write and what not to write.
There are also unscrupulous journalists who only try to catch attention and write anything sensational, without caring about the life or death of the victim.
Many victims survived the harm caused by the murderer, but could not escape the invisible pen in the hands of the reporter.
He read the article about Duan Taoyong published by Lin Shuyue last time. It was written in a realistic way and the victim's information was well protected.
It was for this reason that Hang Jiabai revealed to her this time that the Internet Addiction School involved a life-threatening incident.
"This is what we should do. It's within our responsibilities." Hang Jiabai said.
Lin Shuyue left. Before she left, Hang Jiabai gave her the medal and bonus awarded to her. The bonus was not small, 3,000 yuan, which was already a high amount among the current awards for bravery. Anything higher would be received by the victims.
This time, Hang Jiabai sent Lin Shuyue to the reception hall on the first floor.
The reception hall was already crowded at this time, and many parents who had received the news had already arrived.
When they saw their children covered in bruises, the parents, feeling sorry for their children, hugged them and cried loudly.
But there are always a few unique ones among a group of people.
Take the bald middle-aged man who was closest to Lin Shuyue for example. He didn't think it was a big deal that his child was beaten by people from the Internet addiction school. He said to his son, "Being beaten and starved is nothing for a real man! Didn't your dad also grow up being starved and beaten when he was a child? How come when it's the same for you, you are crying? Are you still a man?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the messy places with a frown. After seeing Hang Jiabai who sent Lin Shuyue down, he walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Hang Jiabai: "Officer, why did you check this Internet addiction treatment school? My son is disobedient at home. No matter how we teach or discipline him, it doesn't work. We are counting on this school to discipline us. If you check this school, what should we parents do?"
People who had the same idea as the bald middle-aged man also followed him and supported him: "Yes, yes, big brother is right."
"Children have thick skin and tough flesh. It doesn't matter if they are beaten or starved a few times. Everyone has gone through this. The most important thing is to be obedient!"
"That's right. The son of our neighbor was also sent to this school. His child was obedient and well-behaved after returning. We want children like that, not the rebellious ones like the ones we have now."
Lin Shuyue looked at these parents, and then at their children who were thought to have been rescued but were thrown into the abyss after seeing their parents, and closed her eyes in pain.
This is the reason why, despite the fact that Internet addiction treatment schools were notorious in the previous life, they still popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Some parents give birth to their children but do not raise them, or raise them but do not teach them. Or when they find that their children are different from what they expected, their first thought is not to tolerate their diversity, but to smooth out the edges of their children and force them to grow up into the way they want them to be.
If they cannot smooth the child out, then they will hand the child over to outsiders to be smoothed over. They do not care how much harm the child suffers in the process, they only care about whether the final result is what they want.
If it is what they want, they will publicize it, and if it is not what they want, they will jump higher than anyone else. They hate their children for not being able to make it, and they hate outsiders for not having the ability.
Anyway, in short, it's not their fault.
Lin Shuyue didn't dare to think about how desperate those children were.
She turned to look at Hang Jiabai.
Facing the siege of parents and listening to their nonsensical and suffocating speeches, his face was as gloomy as water.
After they had all expressed their opinions, Hang Jiabai said, "The actions of the principal and instructors of the Internet Addiction School are suspected of being illegal and criminal."
Some people stood on the side of the bald man, and more people stood on the side of Hang Jiabai. As soon as he finished speaking, the parents who had just heard the bald man and others' mentally retarded speeches could no longer sit still.
"Yes, that's right. My good children were handed over to them. They promised to use military and Chinese culture methods to teach them so that they can get rid of their Internet addiction from the bottom of their hearts. But what methods did they use?"
"Will the army beat soldiers with steel bars? Will the army shock soldiers? Will the army starve soldiers? They are frauds!!!"
"They deserve to die! They are my good children. I have never dared to touch them since they were young. Why do they beat my children like this?"
"My poor children!!!" Some parents burst into tears at the end.
Lin Shuyue didn't want to listen to their arguing anymore, so she turned around and left the Public Security Bureau.
At the door, she met Zhou Bingrong who was being picked up by his parents.
Lin Shuyue now used her real face. Zhou Bingrong didn't recognize her. He just looked at her for a second longer, and then got into a Jetta car under the gaze of a serious-looking man.
Lin Shuyue retracted her gaze and went straight to the newspaper office.
Because she went to the Public Security Bureau first, it was already past ten o'clock when she arrived at the newspaper office.
The girls who were busy working were very surprised to see Lin Shuyue and greeted her. Lin Shuyue replied to them one by one and then went to Wang Mingzheng's office.
Wang Mingzheng was not in a good mood.
In the past few days, his son's rebelliousness has become more serious! He is no longer satisfied with playing computer games at home, and has already run to the Internet cafe. If you say a few words to him, he will always have a hundred words to say back.
He even dyed his hair! Wang Mingzheng was not a conservative person. It would have been fine if he had dyed his hair a normal color, but he dyed it purple!
When Wang Mingzheng saw this, he almost got so angry that his high blood pressure came out.
Just before going out this morning, Wang Mingzheng had a quarrel with his son Wang Xingyang.
On the way to work, Wang Mingzheng had decided not to wait for the results of Lin Shuyue's undercover investigation. He wanted to send his son to an Internet addiction treatment school, today!
Wang Mingzheng has never had high expectations for his son. He doesn't ask him to be outstanding, as long as he is well-behaved and obedient and doesn't make him angry.
He don't know why, but he couldn't get through to the internet addiction treatment school today. During this time, he called home again, and the aunt answered the phone. She said that her son played games again today and didn't eat. When she called him to eat, he ignored her and just yelled at the people in the game.
Wang Mingzheng patiently dealt with his work, then looked at the time and prepared to leave early.
When Lin Shuyue knocked on the door and came in, his hand happened to touch the briefcase on the desk.
Seeing that the person coming was Lin Shuyue, he put down his bag again.
"Xiao Lin is back?"
"I came back last night, but it was too late, so I didn't come to the company." Lin Shuyue sat down opposite Wang Mingzheng's desk with familiarity.
The glass door of Wang Mingzheng's office closed automatically.
Wang Mingzheng picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. The cold water made him frown. He put the cup down and asked Lin Shuyue, "How is it? Is it going well?"
Lin Shuyue nodded, then shook her head: "The undercover investigation went smoothly, but editor-in-chief, this Internet addiction treatment school is completely different from what they advertised. I called the police yesterday, and the Pengcheng police went out overnight to rescue 89 students from the school. The faculty and staff, including the principal, have been taken away by the police for investigation."
Lin Shuyue's words made Wang Mingzheng's face change drastically.
Lin Shuyue didn't pay attention to his expression, but just handed the evidence to him and let him see it.
Wang Mingzheng hurriedly went to get the evidence.
The first scene is a scene on the playground where students are beaten with rulers and dragon whips by instructors.
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed to a horrific scene of a student being tied to an iron bed and being electrocuted.
Then the scene moved to the student dormitory, where students were beaten by instructors and forced to take unknown drugs.
With every frame of the video, Wang Mingzheng's face became uglier.
Especially with Lin Shuyue's explanation beside him, and especially when he heard that some people had died and some had been disabled because of it, he slammed his fist on the desk.
Lin Shuyue was startled. No matter how dumb she was, she knew something was wrong with Wang Mingzheng: "Editor-in-chief?"
Wang Mingzheng pressed the pause button and propped up his head with both hands: "Sorry, I made a fool of myself. I'm fine, just let me take a break."
Lin Shuyue tactfully stopped talking, and after a long while, Wang Mingzheng finally returned to normal.
He looked at the young girl in front of him who was not much older than his son, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, Xiaolin."
Lin Shuyue was stunned, not understanding why Wang Mingzheng thanked her.
Wang Mingzheng took a sip of the cold tea from the cup. The coldness of the tea just now made him frown, but now after taking a sip of the ice water, he felt a little calmer.
"I have a son named Wang Xingyang, who is sixteen years old. He also likes playing computer games. Every day after school, he goes to his room to play games and make friends. He is becoming more and more rebellious and disobedient."
"To be honest, I can't control him anymore. This morning I made up my mind to send him to a school for Internet addiction treatment. After I came to the office, I made several calls to the school."
Wang Mingzheng and his wife were childhood sweethearts , and they had only one son, Wang Xingyang. When Wang Xingyang was five years old, his wife fell seriously ill, and he tried his best but still failed to save her life.
After his wife left, he never remarried and didn't even have a girlfriend, for fear that marrying another one would be bad for his son.
Over the years, he has been both a father and a mother, and is willing to give his son anything good.
He wanted him to go to the best school, and if he wanted something, anything he wanted to eat, anything he wanted to use, he would give him the best within his ability.
If he hadn't been so rebellious in the past one or two years, Wang Mingzheng wouldn't have thought of sending him to a school for internet addiction!
Unexpectedly, this thought almost harmed his son.
Wang Mingzheng was extremely grateful that he couldn't leave Wang Xingyang in the past and had been hesitating all the time. He was even more grateful that he nodded when Lin Shuyue was going to secretly visit the Internet addiction school.
Just by imagining the suffering students in the video onto his own son, his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe.
When Wang Mingzheng thought about his son suffering the same way, he wanted to beat all the instructors to death to vent his anger!
At this moment, Wang Mingzheng felt that it didn't matter if his son was not well-behaved or disobedient, at least he was healthy, which was better than anything else.
Lin Shuyue was silent.
Internet addiction treatment schools have just emerged. Because of good advertising and endorsement by mainstream media, the general public really believes that these schools can treat their children, so they send their children to these schools one after another.
Most of the people who sent their children to the Internet addiction treatment schools without knowing their true nature were deceived by the advertisements. Except for a very small number of idiots like the bald man, there were also many parents who loved their children like Wang Mingzheng.
Wang Mingzheng wiped his face and quickly made a decision. He said, "Xiao Lin, our newspaper must report this as soon as possible, and we must also cooperate with the TV station to do a graphic report. You go back and write the article, and I will contact the TV station."
Pengcheng Metropolitan Entertainment News is just a declining newspaper. This news is exclusive, even nationally exclusive, but their influence is not enough.
Newspapers are primarily concerned with making money, but sometimes, making money has to take a back seat to conscience. This report needs to be reported by a more influential official report!
And it was not without benefit for him to let this news out. Pengcheng TV station owed him a favor, so they had to give him something back somewhere else.
This wave of cooperation is a win-win situation.
Lin Shuyue would love to have this news broadcast in a larger media outlet to expand its influence.
"Okay, editor."
Lin Shuyue saw Wang Mingzheng making a phone call and walked out of his office.
Sitting at the workstation she hadn't seen for a long time, after turning on the computer, Lin Shuyue looked at the blank document and slowly typed a title: "Internet addiction treatment school? It turns out to be a concentration camp in the new era!!"
She plans to write the report in two parts. One part is to expose the true face of Internet addiction schools, and the other part is to target some parents who sent their children to such schools and then blamed the police after being caught.
Once the title is decided, the rest of the report will be easier to write.
After a burst of typing, the outline of a report came out. This time, Lin Shuyue did not send the report to the editor-in-chief immediately like last time, but read the report from beginning to end and polished it.
It took an hour to make these revisions. After sending the report to Wang Mingzheng, Wang Mingzheng called her to the office. Lin Shuyue closed the document, stood up, and walked towards Wang Mingzheng's office.
Two middle-aged men in white shirts and suit pants were sitting in the reception area of Wang Mingzheng's office. They were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.
Lin Shuyue knocked on the door and walked in. Wang Mingzheng waved at Lin Shuyue and said, "Xiao Lin, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xiongfeng, the deputy director of the news department of Pengcheng TV Station. This is Yang Feirong, the best cameraman in their news department. Ah Feng, this is Xiao Lin, the reporter in our news department, Lin Shuyue."
"Hello Director Zhang, hello Cameraman Yang." Lin Shuyue greeted them politely.
Zhang Xiongfeng looked at Lin Shuyue and smiled: "Hello, reporter Xiao Lin, hello, I have heard of you a long time ago and have always wanted to meet you, but you, the editor-in-chief, have been hiding her, fearing that I would poach his capable people."
The last sentence teased Wang Mingzheng. Lin Shuyue saw that the two had a good relationship, so she stood aside and smiled apologetically.
Cameraman Yang smiled at Lin Shuyue beside the two of them.
Wang Mingzheng poured a cup of tea for Lin Shuyue, and did not forget to plead his innocence: "It's not that I don't want you to see him, Xiao Lin is on a mission!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiongfeng straightened his face.
He picked up his phone and took a look at it, then said to Wang Mingzheng, "Our director asked the station director for instructions. After hearing about this matter, the station director attached great importance to it and has agreed to our filming plan. They have also decided to broadcast this interview on the Focus Interview before the news tomorrow evening."
As local TV stations, Pengcheng TV and its subsidiaries have extremely high ratings, especially Pengcheng Satellite TV.
Wang Mingzheng picked up the teacup and saluted Zhang Xiongfeng: "Ah Feng, thank you."
The reason why Zhang Xiongfeng chose to schedule the interview tomorrow instead of today was to allow Wang Mingzheng to publish an exclusive in tomorrow's morning paper! Otherwise, with Zhang Xiongfeng's ability, it wouldn't take much effort to replace the interview spot today.
Wang Mingzheng appreciated this favor.
Zhang Xiongfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "We have known each other for so many years. It would be too polite to say thank you. I should be the one to thank you. You know, our director is old and will retire next year at the latest. Deputy Director Li and I are now competing for this position. Your big news has helped me a lot!"
Once the news about the Internet addiction school is broadcast, this will be his political achievement! It is a foregone conclusion that the word "deputy" in front of his title will be removed next year! Not only that, he will also show up at the CCTV!
Next, Lin Shuyue acted as a mascot, sitting on the side and listening to the two people discuss the details of the cooperation.
At noon, Lin Shuyue had lunch with Wang Mingzheng and the company's management. At the dinner table, Director Zhao from their newspaper's news department looked unnatural, but Lin Shuyue ignored him.
Director Zhao was extremely bureaucratic. The original owner had not been wasting time during her three months of internship. She had submitted quite a few reports, but when these reports reached Director Zhao, she was lucky to get two out of ten approved.
Lin Shuyue has not been idle during this period. She has read all the reports written by the original owner. Even if she couldn't make it to the front page, she could always make it to the second or third page.
Why didn't Director Zhao let her go? The reason was that the original owner didn't know how to flatter and didn't give him any gifts.
Instead, it was Director Li from the advertising department that made Lin Shuyue look at him a few more times. After all, this guy and Weisheng looked like copy and paste. They looked too similar.
They look so similar that if you don't know them, you would think they are father and son!
Director Li is also a good talker. He made a lot of witty remarks during the meal, which made the atmosphere very lively. He is really a talent! No wonder he can sit firmly in the position of director of the advertising department.
No wonder Director Zhao has to flatter him.
After returning to the unit in the afternoon, Lin Shuyue changed her clothes and sat in Wang Mingzheng's office to start recording the interview. Before recording, Lin Shuyue put on makeup without changing her appearance.
When she appeared in front of everyone, everyone was shocked.
After all, the people they saw wearing makeup usually made themselves look pretty, and there weren't many people who made themselves look ugly. After putting on this makeup, Lin Shuyue looked like a completely different person from her usual appearance!
Zhang Xiongfeng said to Wang Mingzheng: "Now, I really want to poach this kid!"
With such superb makeup skills, she is a good material for being an investigative reporter!
There are many journalists nowadays, but investigative journalists have always been scarce. There are only a few hundred people working as investigative journalists in the whole country!
Wang Mingzheng didn't say anything. After Lin Shuyue put on this makeup, he knew that Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily was not the end of Lin Shuyue's career.
"Ah Feng, let me put this on my lips. If Xiao Lin is willing to go with you, I will definitely not say a word."
Zhang Xiongfeng glanced at Lin Shuyue who was smiling beside him and said, "It's not the right time yet. Wait a little longer. When the time comes, reporter Xiao Lin must give me this opportunity."
With a talent like Lin Shuyue, Zhang Xiongfeng would definitely bring her under his wing. If he recruited Lin Shuyue now, it is still uncertain which side she will be on in the end!
It's better to leave it with Wang Mingzheng, it's much safer.
"Of course, of course."
Lin Shuyue found a place to sit comfortably, and cameraman Yang used a green plant as the foreground and began recording.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when the recording was finished.
Zhang Xiongfeng and others did not stay long. After putting away their equipment, they headed straight to the Public Security Bureau. They had already communicated with the Public Security Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau would also send representatives to complete the interview. Some children and parents also agreed to participate in the interview.
Lin Shuyue took off her makeup and returned to her workstation. Before she could say anything else, Director Zhao from the News Department called her, and Lin Shuyue went to his office.
His office was much smaller than Wang Mingzheng's. Director Zhao held up a few fingers and typed on the computer keyboard, leaving Lin Shuyue aside.
Lin Shuyue didn't care. This was Director Zhao's basic operation. It would be abnormal if anyone who came to see Director Zhao had to wait for three to five minutes.
Director Zhao glanced at Lin Shuyue with mixed feelings.
He has always been dissatisfied with Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue was pretty and worked hard, but she was inflexible and not good at speaking. She had been interning for three months and had never said a nice word to him, let alone a gift, which she had never given him.
Director Zhao originally wanted to give Lin Shuyue's internship report an excellent grade and then reject her job, just like he did with the intern who didn't know how to behave before.
But no one expected that Lin Shuyue would make such a big news at the last minute!
She even bypassed him and talked directly to Wang Mingzheng, and when she returned from the secret visit, she brought a big news and a big opportunity to the newspaper.
After the Suishan sisters case, Lin Shuyue happily took the bonus and went to the Public Security Bureau, but Wang Mingzheng called him to his office and criticized him. Wang Mingzheng said that he didn't know how to judge people and didn't have the tolerance to tolerate others!
Later, when Lin Shuyue bypassed him and took over directly from Wang Mingzheng, Director Zhao felt aggrieved and felt that his authority was challenged.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to criticize Lin Shuyue after she came back from her undercover investigation, but the news she brought back led to a collaboration between the newspaper and the TV station.
From this point alone, Director Zhao knew that Lin Shuyue, who was listed with Wang Mingzheng and the TV station, was no longer someone he could suppress.
Director Zhao suddenly felt very bored. He coughed and said, "When did Xiaolin come in? Why didn't you say anything?"
Lin Shuyue gave a perfunctory smile: "Isn't it because I saw that Director Zhao was busy with work and didn't dare to disturb you?"
This words were very pleasing to his ears, and his expression improved a bit. He pulled out a document from the desk and handed it to Lin Shuyue, with comments already written and signed on it.
"Xiao Lin, congratulations, your internship is over."
With this report, plus Lin Shuyue's work on the Suishan sisters' murder case and the undercover investigation of the Internet addiction school, she was not only able to stay smoothly, but also could freely choose the newspaper she wanted to go to.
Lin Shuyue said calmly: "Thank you, Director Zhao."
Director Zhao waved his hand and said, "Why thank me? This is what you deserve. Xiaolin, on behalf of the newspaper, I welcome you to join us. Now, go out and work."
Lin Shuyue came out of Director Zhao's office and went to her workstation to look through the internship report, thinking in her heart that she would find time to go back to the original owner's school and get her diploma.
Huang Qiang, Lin Shuyue's master, came back from outside at this time, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. He put one cup on Lin Shuyue's table, and Lin Shuyue looked up at him.
Huang Qiang is in his forties and is dressed in standard journalist attire: a khaki work vest over a short-sleeved shirt and a black baseball cap on his head.
"Congratulations, Xiao Lin." Huang Qiang was a professional in entertainment news. He didn't teach his apprentice Lin Shuyue very hard, but he told her everything he should have told her.
Whenever the original owner encountered difficulties at work, she would find Huang Qiang, and Huang Qiang would help without hesitation. He would even talk to the original owner about the unspoken rules in the industry in his spare time.
The original owner was very grateful to Master Huang Qiang, and Lin Shuyue also had a good impression of Huang Qiang: "Thank you, Master. What news are you covering recently?"
Huang Qiang drank his iced coffee and said, "It's about Xiang Wan's news. There's news in the industry that she's secretly married and has a child."
Lin Shuyue knew who Xiang Wan is, she had seen several billboards with her photo printed on them when she went shopping at the mall the day before the undercover investigation. She was a native of Pengcheng and had participated in a beauty pageant in Hong Kong a few years ago, and had even won a second place medal.
Now she is the most popular and commercially valuable actress in the world, with movies, TV and music. When paparazzi take photos of her daily outfits, newspapers are always sold out. If the news that she is secretly married and has a child is true, it will definitely be big news and will definitely cause a big stir.
The master and the disciple chatted for a while, and before they finished their cup of coffee, Huang Qiang received a phone call and left in a hurry.
Lin Shuyue packed up her things and went home.
When passing by Wujiao Village on the way home, Lin Shuyue looked at the entrance of the village and found that Ah Hao's grandmother did not come to the stall.
Before Lin Shuyue reached home, she could smell the aroma of food wafting from the yard in the distance. She took a few quick steps and met Grandma Zhang from next door who was playing outside with her grandson at the door.
She was the first to greet Lin Shuyue: "Ah Yue is back?"
The original owner's family didn't have a very good relationship with this Grandma Zhang, and they rarely greeted each other when they met. Lin Shuyue nodded at her and responded.
Ignoring her cold attitude, Grandma Zhang said to herself, "Oh right, you don't want to stay at home anymore, so you want to go outside."
Grandma Zhang's grandson Huizai is three years old. When Lin Shuyue was talking to Grandma, he had already run to play with a group of other children about a hundred or two hundred meters away.
Lin Shuyue didn't want to talk to her, and wanted to go back after a few perfunctory words, but was stopped by Grandma Zhang's hand: "Ah Yue, your brother-in-law hasn't even gotten married yet, but he comes to your house every day. You don't want him to come over, do you?"
Lin Shuyue frowned, but Granny Zhang didn't seem to notice and continued, "You have to watch out for it. This house was bought by your mother. You and your sister both have a share. Don't let your sister take all your share."
After Grandma Zhang finished speaking, she shouted her grandson Huizai's name and ran after him. Lin Shuyue glanced at her back and pushed open the door to the yard and went in.
Lin Shuxing was peeling garlic by the door. When she saw Lin Shuyue coming back, she didn't care about her joy at coming home from a business trip. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said to Lin Shuyue with displeasure, "This grandma Zhang just can't stand other families being better than hers."
"It's been like this since the three of us, mother and daughter, bought this house and settled here. She's the one who spread the gossip about mom in the village. Don't believe her nonsense. Your brother Zhengjun doesn't want to be a live-in son-in-law."
"It's not like I don't know who she is. I just ignore what she says." This Grandma Zhang has never been an easy person to deal with. She is a well-known gossip in the village. Most of the gossip in the whole village is spread by her.
As outsiders, the original owner's mother and daughter were the ones she gossiped about the most. Lou Fengqin even had a fight with her because of this.
Because of this, although the two families are neighbors, they have not interacted for a long time. What good intentions could she have when she suddenly came to Lin Shuyue and said these words to sow discord?
Lin Shuxing looked at her several times, and seeing that she really didn't take it to heart, a smile appeared on her face: "Last year, her eldest son's wife was beaten and ran away, so she ran to mom and said that she would suffer a little loss and let her son marry mom. She also said that we are two money-losing goods, and when the time comes, you can stop studying after mom marry her son. This house is mom's dowry."
"It doesn't matter if mom can't give birth. Her eldest grandson will be eighteen years old. By then he will treat mom as his own mother and be filial to her." When Lin Shuxing said this, she rolled her eyes to the sky.
"The abacus beads are falling on my face. She thinks I'm a fool." Lin Shuyue said, and stopped talking about this insignificant person. She asked Lin Shuxing: "How is your business these days?"
Speaking of business, Lin Shuxing smiled and said, "Now your brother Zhengjun has finished preparing breakfast at the factory and is back to take care of business. The two of us are working on two construction sites, and we have saved this much money in just over a week."
Lin Shuxing showed Lin Shuyue three fingers, which meant three thousand yuan.
Lin Shuyue also smiled: "Work for another two months, and you and Brother Zhengjun will be able to buy a house."
Lin Shuxing nodded vigorously: "Your brother Zhengjun said the same thing. We will buy the house in the middle of this year, and we will get married during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After Lin Shuxing finished speaking, he looked at his sister who hadn't come back for more than a week and asked, "Is your work going well?"
"It went smoothly. I followed a big story. The editor-in-chief said he would give me a bonus in a few days."
"My sister is so awesome, do a good job." Lin Shuxing's tone was as if she was coaxing an ignorant child. From childhood to adulthood, she always praised the original owner like this after the original owner did good things.
"Oh, by the way, mom called me yesterday and said they were on their way back. Uncle Wu's child is coming back with them. It will probably be in the next two days."
Lin Shuyue didn't often turn on her cell phone when she was doing undercover work, but she would send text messages to Lin Shuxing and Lou Fengqin on time every day.
"Mom also texted me. She'll be home tomorrow."
"Mom likes to eat chicken feet. Your brother Zhengjun said he would buy some tomorrow morning..."
The two sisters were chatting in low voices about family matters. Luo Zhengjun was shouting for garlic cloves, so Lin Shuxing hurriedly brought the peeled ones over. Lin Shuyue went over to help pack up the dishes and rice that Luo Zhengjun had prepared.
After dinner, Lin Shuyue wanted to follow Lin Shuxing to sell lunch boxes, but Lin Shuxing told her to have a good rest and did not let her go.
Lin Shuyue sent her out, then washed up and returned to the room. She lay on the bed and opened the good and evil system to check.
After Xiao Changxin and others were taken away by the police last night, the time-limited task that had been silent for a long time had some changes. A progress bar was added behind the time-limited task.
The above progress has reached 80%, and the countdown for the limited-time task is still seven days away.
Seven days is enough time for major media to ferment and also enough time to complete this task.
Only after Lin Shuxing returned safely did Lin Shuyue return to her room and fall into a deep sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she ate the breakfast brought by Luo Zhengjun and rode her bicycle to work. It was still the familiar newsstand. Lin Shuyue saw the newspaper from her own newspaper at first glance.
There are three pictures above, including photos of students being whipped by instructors with a ruler and a dragon whip, students being electrocuted, and students being fed medicine.
Lin Shuyue bought one and put it in her bag, then rode away on her bike.
Lin Shuyue stayed in the newspaper office all day, reading the latest newspapers, chatting with colleagues about gossip to enhance their relationships, and went shopping with colleagues after get off work.
After returning home, she sat in front of the TV, waiting for the focus interview on Pengcheng TV.
The interview officially started at 6:30. In the host's opening remarks, the true face of the Internet addiction treatment school was officially presented to thousands of households in the form of images.
The parents of the deceased student, the disabled students, and the scars on the beaten child captured in the video are not shocking at all.
In Taijiang Prison, ten kilometers away from the center of Pengcheng City, Zheng Zhongfu was watching the program with his fellow inmates. After watching it, he silently wrote down the reporter's newspaper, name and address.
After watching the news broadcast, he took out paper and pen and started writing a letter.
His cellmate saw this and asked, "It's been twelve years, Zhongfu, you still don't give up?"
Zheng Zhongfu did not respond to him, but he would never give up and would never accept his fate. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would continue to seek help from outside.
Even though he knew that this time's request for help would probably fall on deaf ears just like countless times before.
